Weight-Loss Injections: What You Need to Know

The NHS has announced that a new weight-loss injection called Mounjaro (tirzepatide) will soon be available to help people with obesity. There are also other weight-loss injections, such as Wegovy (semaglutide) and Saxenda (liraglutide). This news has created a lot of interest, and we’ve been getting many questions about it.

Let’s take a closer look at what this means for you and how it could affect GP services.

Who will be eligible for Mounjaro?

The NHS plans to make this injection available from June 2025 for people who:

• Have a BMI equal to or over 40
• Must have 4 confirmed diagnoses of the following 5 health-related problems
   Type 2 Diabetes
   Hypertension
   Dyslipidaemia
   Cardiovascular Disease
   Obstructive sleep apnoea

When Will It Be Available?

The NHS has a long-term plan to make Mounjaro widely available. However, this will take time – possibly up to 12 years – to ensure services can manage the demand.

As of June 2025, in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, around 1,000 people currently qualify for the medication based on national eligibility criteria – but it won’t be available locally until later this year (Autumn) – so please don’t contact us just yet as we're unable to help currently." 

What We Offer Right Now

At Stubbington Medical Practice, we know how important weight management is for your health. While Mounjaro is not yet available through our surgery, we can support you with:

NHS Health Checks: These include weight management advice and checks for other health conditions.

Diet and Exercise Advice: Our health and wellbeing team can guide you on making lifestyle changes to help manage your weight.

Support Services: We can connect you with other NHS programs that focus on healthy weight management and refer you to specialist weight management services in line with NHS guidance. Please submit an eConsult detailing what help you would like, and we can assist you further.

Important Note

At the time of writing, all weight loss injections are only available through specific NHS specialist services. Please check with us to see if you qualify and to learn about other weight management options we can offer.
